Knee height

Edit Post

Is there anyway to measure hips (upper leg) length too, so we can compare with knee height?

58cm for 177cm height. Is that within the norm?

I'm at 57.5 after having lengthened 7.5 cm. And I also lengthened my femurs 7.5. That means our legs are of the same length and I'm 182. Which means I have 5 cms of SH on you. The dream. You either messed up with your measurements or your legs are reeeaaally long. Are you black by any chance?

You lengthened 15cm? Whoa.

Also my knee height is 49cm and I'm 157cm. At exactly 10cm or 4 inches more you had only 1cm of knee height more. My tibias aren't even that long so yours were probably short. Thank god my femurs are short or I wouldn't be able to do LL.

No I am calculating future lengthening. If I did 6cm on tibia I'd be 58cm knee height at 177. Then If I did 9 cm on femur to equal your total amount of lengthening I'd be 186cm. I am just over an inch taller than your start height. I think you calculated wrong as my sitting height is still higher than yours.

You've just ruined my dream.

Haha sorry man. If you don't mind sharing what is your tibia to femur ratio after lengthening. Did you do 7.5cm on each segment for any particular reason rather than the standard less on tibia more on femurs approach?

Not really I just like things equal.
Quotefemur length D/S = 541mm/541mm
tibia length D/S = 435mm/435mm
The ratio is 0.8 according to the standing x-ray.
